Extractions: Abdominal Hernia Introduction Presentation Surgery Introduction Cat's that roam outdoors are prone to numerous traumatic injuries. Fighting with other animals and getting hit by cars are some of the more common injuries we encounter. This page shows a surgical procedure to correct an abdominal hernia in a cat that was hit by a car. In this situation the hernia was caused by a blow to the abdomen by the car. The blow was strong enough to tear a large hole in the abdominal muscles that surround the abdomen. The small intestine went through this hole and was trapped between the muscle and the underside of the skin. Presentation Sundance was presented to us with a history of being gone for 5 days and lethargy. Most cats that are hit by a car are in a state of shock and can die if not treated with intravenous fluids . Sundance is lucky he survived being hit by a car without any shock therapy. Our exam revealed a swollen and bruised area just under the skin in the right inguinal area, which made us suspicious of a hernia. Bruising is very common in such small animals that have been hit be a car, so it does not necessarily mean there is an abdominal hernia. To help us determine if there indeed was a hernia we took a radiograph. Radiographs are taken for numerous reasons on every pet that is hit by a car. These pets can have trauma to the chest, broken ribs, herniation of abdominal contents into the chest, and ruptured internal organs like the urinary bladder. The radiograph helps us determine if any of these problems exist. In this case, the radiograph helped verify that Sundance had an abdominal hernia. He also had a fractured pelvis which would heal on its own if he was confined and rested for one month.

http://www.hernia.org/hiatus.html

Extractions: Unlike an abdominal (or groin) hernia, a hiatus hernia occurs in the chest area and affects the digestive system. Where the oesophagus ('food pipe', or 'gullet') goes down, it passes the diaphragm through a gap called the hiatus. Immediately below that, it goes into the stomach which sits just below the diaphragm. This hiatus causes a narrowing of the opening into the stomach and this helps prevent stomach contents from going the wrong way, ie upwards, which is called reflux. If the area of the hiatus is weak, the function of 'clamping down' on the entry to the stomach is weakened, the result being the reflux of acidic digestive juices up into the oesophagus, which is not protected against the action of these acids. The outcome of this is often a quite painful burning sensation. Other symptoms patients suffer include chest pain which may extend to just below the shoulder blades. Unlike an abdominal hernia, there are no tell-tale visible symptoms of hiatus hernia, as the whole event occurs inside the chest. The diagnosis is established by a specialist; the combination of symptoms must be confirmed by X-ray and an endoscopy (a view using a lighted tube). What can be done to avoid a hiatus hernia?

Extractions: What is a hernia? What does a hernia feel like? Why does a hernia hurt? Who gets hernias? ... What if I have other questions? 1. What is a hernia? A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening in the body. Most hernias occur when a piece of intestine slips through a weakness in the abdominal wall, creating a bulge you can see and feel. Hernias can develop around the naval, in the groin, or any place where you may have had a surgical incision. Some hernias are present at birth. Others develop slowly over a period of months or years. Hernias also can come on quite suddenly. Think of it this way Think of your hernia as a bulge in a tire. The outer wall of the tire is like your abdominal wall. The inner tube of the tire is like your intestines (Figure 1). Most of the time the outer wall of the tire is strong enough to hold the inner tube, but if the wall weakens, a bulge may occur (Figure 2). Just like a hernia may form in a weakness in the abdominal wall (Figure 3).

Extractions: Email To A Friend Home Digestive Diseases A-Z List of Topics and Titles : Inguinal Hernia A hernia is a condition in which part of the intestine bulges through a weak area in muscles in the abdomen. An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin (the area between the abdomen and thigh). It is called "inguinal" because the intestines push through a weak spot in the inguinal canal, which is a triangle-shaped opening between layers of abdominal muscle near the groin. Obesity, pregnancy, heavy lifting, and straining to pass stool can cause the intestine to push against the inguinal canal. Symptoms of inguinal hernia may include a lump in the groin near the thigh; pain in the groin; and, in severe cases, partial or complete blockage of the intestine. The doctor diagnoses hernia by doing a physical exam and by taking x rays and blood tests to check for blockage in the intestine. The main treatment for inguinal hernia is surgery to repair the opening in the muscle wall. This surgery is called herniorrhaphy. Sometimes the weak area is reinforced with steel mesh or wire. This operation is called hernioplasty. If the protruding intestine becomes twisted or traps stool, part of the intestine might need to be removed. This surgery is called bowel resection. (Bowel is another word for intestine.) Top Additional Information on Inguinal Hernia The National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse collects resource information on digestive diseases for the Combined Health Information Database (CHID). CHID is a database produced by health-related agencies of the Federal Government. This database provides titles, abstracts, and availability information for health information and health education resources.

Extractions: What is a Hernia? A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal opening in the body. Most hernias occur when a piece of intestine slips through a weakness in the abdominal wall creating a bulge you can see and feel. Hernias can develop around the naval, in the groin, or any place where you may have had a surgical incision. Some hernias are present at birth. Others develop slowly over a period of months or years. There are two main types of hernias: hiatal and inguinal. Hiatal Hernia A hiatal hernia can be caused by many different things. Some of the causes are: obesity, pregnancy, tight clothing, sudden physical exertion, such as weight lifting straining, coughing and abdominal injury. Symptoms of Hiatal Hernia Most hiatal hernias cause no symptoms. Inguinal Hernia An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin (the area between the abdomen and thigh). It is called "inguinal" because the intestines push through a weak spot in the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is a triangle-shaped opening between layers of abdominal muscle near the groin. Some of the causes of inguinal hernias are: obesity, pregnancy, heavy lifting, and straining to pass stool can cause the intestine to push against the inguinal canal.

Extractions: Pharmacies Advertisement Hiatal Hernia A hiatal (hi-A-tul) hernia occurs when a part of the stomach slides above the diaphragm (DIE-uh-fram), the thin muscle separating the stomach from the chest. This is a common problem and most people are not bothered by it. Your hernia may allow stomach acid to flow back into your esophagus (ee-sof-uh-gus), the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. With time, the stomach acid may irritate your esophagus and cause problems. If this happens, you may need surgery to repair the hernia. You can be born with a hiatal hernia or develop one when you are older. A trauma or surgery can cause the problem too. The most common symptom is burning in your chest (heartburn), especially at night when you are lying down. Other possible signs include burping and trouble swallowing. Usually, treatment at home is all that's needed. Surgery is required only if your symptoms get worse.
